[Samba] PDC machine name appears as Domain Name on PC profiles
I have the distribution Samba package 3.2.3 running under Ubuntu 8.10 Workstation, downloaded using Synaptics Package Manager. It is running as a PDC. On some of my Windows XP workstations, the Windows profiles appearing under System Properties >> Advanced >> User Profiles appear correct, in the form DOMAIN_NAME\USER_NAME. On others, however, they appear in the form DOMAIN_SERVER_NAME\USER_NAME. Does anyone know why this occurs, and if so, is it normal? Do I need to change something. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Possibly because the SID of the PDC is the SID of the domain? Maybe something resolves the name one way while another works the other.
